Should you manage to uncover anything you shouldn't, well, simply know that I will hunt you down. I do not make threats; it is not the Valerian way. We make promises.

┏ ┓ ═Who Is ═Kahira Valerian? ┗ ┛ xx Kahira has classic only child syndrome. She's spoiled rotten, smart as a whip, and likes getting her way... the only problem is that she isn't an only child, and everything in the family goes to her elder brother Blaize. xx Because of this, Kahira is used to fighting tooth and nail to be noticed, and this comes across in her personality. Salty, sarcastic, and snappy, Kahira is a fashionable and strong-willed queen bee through and through - but this sometimes drives people away. She is, as her brother likes to say, "about as tame as a hurricane" and has a temper as fiery as her hair! ────────────────────────────────────────────── xx This lass will not hesitate to make her feelings about someone known in a public manner, unless such a thing would dampen her relationship with her parents (e.g. if they're in earshot) or social status. She enjoys hard work and looks forward to learning to brew potions like her parents, but despises the outdoors and anything that might chip her nails or ruin her outfit.

┏ ┓ ═Trendsetting ═Fashions & Styles ┗ ┛ xx Kahira has the standard Valerian family looks, with a bit of her own aesthetic (albeit heavily inspired by her lineage). Like her father, she has the fiery red locks of a Valerian, though hers do tend a shade darker than her elder brother's; like her mother, this hair presents itself in tight ringlet curls. xx Kahira also has her father's dark brown eyes, but has neglected to inherit his freckles (or so she claims - her unmarred porcelain skin might have to do more with sneaking into her mother's beauty creams and elixirs than with genetics). She is quite a bit shorter than her brother and always has been, standing at a mere 4'4" - though this, at least, she blames on her mum's family line. Her build is fairly petite, with slightly broad shoulders. ────────────────────────────────────────────── xx You will rarely find her in uniform, and when you do, she makes a habit of covering up her House crest and leaving any House-identifying materials like ties back in her dormitory. Kahira keeps her hair in a high ponytail usually, enjoying preppy fashions and old-money aesthetics, shying away from the 'farm' look. She always dresses to kill, commonly in green to represent her family or red, which compliments her hair. Accessories like jewelry, nail polish, and makeup are not optional.

WHAT TO WEAR ─────────────────────────── in: pearls/rubies, red lipstick, plaid, collars, emerald green, pleats out: yellow, t-shirts, athleisure, straight hair, all-black, neon ═══════════════════════════ code adapted from the Hogwarts Headliner

WHAT'S IN ────────────────────────── being Sorted into any other House taking care of one's looks savoury treats rooting for the Holyhead Harpies spiders as pets (begrudgingly) being treated equally regardless of gender/age pumpkin juice Potions, Defence Against the Dark Arts, Flying, Runes, and Transfiguration classes making pureblood friends ══════════════════════════

WHAT'S OUT ────────────────────────── being Sorted into Hufflepuff showing up to class in a slobby uniform sugary sweets rooting for any other Quidditch team having cat/dog hair all over you (ew) being called a "spare" butterbeers History of Magic, Herbology, Muggle Studies, and Care of Magical Creatures classes befriending Muggle-borns ══════════════════════════

┏ ┓ ═Tolerable People ═(At the Moment) ┗ ┛ Aldric Valerian (NPC) I'd really do anything to make Father see that I'm the right choice when it comes to who will inherit the Valerian Consortium. I've wanted to be him since birth! Eloise Valerian (NPC) Maman taught me all about beauty, and she's the most gorgeous woman ever, so who better to do so? I'll never get why she loves getting grubby in greenhouses, though. Nova Vancourt My childhood best friend. We dreamed of being Sorted into Slytherin together! Not only did neither of us make the cut, we were also separated into different Houses... Idalia della Torre TBD - most likely meeting at camp. Morel Thistledown Everyone needs a good sidekick, and Morel is good at doing as he's told, at least. Maybe you... I doubt that you'll impress me... I mean, look at you! But if you want to give it your best shot, send me an owl. We'll see if I approve... or if you go on that side over there. ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Ptolemy The only person who truly understands me sometimes isn't even a person. I found him in a jar of spider legs, and even though I threaten to use him in potions quite often, he still sticks around. Probably because of his webbing. It's quite sticky.

ANNOYANCES TO AVOID ─────────────────────────── Blaize Valerian My elder brother. The perfect little crown prince and heir apparent, even a Slytherin. Maman and Father won't accept he's a monster at this point and still love him more than me! Henry Holbrook One of Blaize's stupid little friends, and a Hufflepuff to boot. Jeremy Slater He's not horrible, but he always has his nose in a dusty old book. My parents say I need to be nice to him, but he's got dirty Muggle blood... so how can I? Maybe you... Yes, it's more likely that you end up over here, isn't it? Still, I do like knowing who to eschew. Send me an owl (a nice clean one, please - look at the state of you!) if you'd like to see to which side of this list you'll belong... ═══════════════════════════ code adapted from the Hogwarts Headliner

┏ ┓ ═The Life & Times of ═Kahira Eloise Valerian ┗ ┛ xx As they so usually do, the story of this little girl begins with her parents' love story. Aldric Valerian is a British wizard who was born in 1988, the ninth heir of his generational Potions lineage and family business: the Valerian Consortium. Aldric attended Hogwarts and was Sorted into Slytherin, excelling in Potions (obviously) during his seven years there. At the same time, in a different country, Eloise Lavande (born 1990) was undergoing her education at Beauxbâtons, doing equally well in the field of Herbology - which also made sense, seeing as how the Lavande dynasty was quite famous for being one of the biggest worldwide producers of plant-based potion ingredients. Since they were both purebloods from well-known families in similar industries, their marriage was as much of a business arrangement as it was from love. xx Not long after Aldric and Eloise tied the knot, they celebrated the birth of their first child, a son, on the 9th October of 2013. The young heir came into the world at the Valerians' work estate in the central London district of Covent Garden, was named Blaize, and was instantly dubbed the future of the Valerian Consortium. He even had the family's signature red hair! The new parents were absolutely enamored with their firstborn, and treated him with as much love and care as their busy business lives could possibly allow. ────────────────────────────────────────────── xx However, the heir would not be alone for long, as he was quickly greeted by his spare a year and a half later. On March 27th, 2015, Eloise again gave birth at the Covent Garden home, this time to a baby girl with red curls already as thick as her brother's and a loud wail like that of a Fwooper. She was dubbed Kahira, meaning "conqueror", and immediately the young lass took to living up to her name's significance. xx Kahira and Blaize, being only a year and a half apart, were expected to be close in personality and relationship as they were in age; this expectation could not have been further off base. Whereas the elder brother was calm, soft, and malleable, Kahira was a firecracker and had a will stronger than an Unbreakable Vow. She despised getting herself dirty and tended more towards beautifying herself and strengthening her mind, whereas Blaize was happy to do whatever was asked of him by their parents. This deep difference between the siblings grew into a hearty distrust and divide, at least on Kahira's side, as they grew older and the sister realised that Blaize's advantage in age would lead to an advantage in life. He was being groomed to take over the family business, was the object of their parents' many affections, and Kahira was more often than not pushed to the side even when she strived so hard to be noticed.

xx

xx As for her first use of accidental magic... routing her brother at his own game was something Kahira took very seriously. Blaize's first accidental magic had come about when he was eight, and so Kahira eagerly awaited hers as soon as his had passed, hoping that it would come at a younger age and prove her better magical talent to her parents. (Plus, his first instance of magic had been "saving" her from acorns - that he had thrown at her in the first place. Was it so wrong of her to want a little revenge?) But Kahira's eighth birthday came and went, the year and a half of waiting seemingly culminating in nothing, and the younger Valerian somewhat resigned herself to being second place to her brother... again. ────────────────────────────────────────────── xx But then, success. Kahira and her brother were very rarely allowed in to the potions workshop to watch their parents put their talents to work, but shortly after her birthday they were permitted to sit in on one brewing. Their parents warned against touching or doing anything - after all, magic or any attempts at it prior to Hogwarts were not permitted - but the young girl was so excited she could hardly sit still, staring at the cauldron as it simmered over the open fire. The ladle, balanced carefully on the iron rim, was teetering and about to fall - so Kahira reached out to catch it, concerned about letting it touch the floor. Unfortunately, the flowy sleeves of the old-fashioned peasant blouse she had chosen to wear that day were far too long, the edge catching on the flames as they flickered up against the basin of the cauldron. xx In what seemed like a millisecond, her whole arm was up in flames that felt scorching hot against her skin. Kahira screamed, an earsplitting sound that caught the attention of her brother and both parents; her mother rushed to her rescue with a well-placed Extinguishing Charm. Her father sent her brother to fetch a vial of Burn-Healing Paste, but when Kahira pushed up the charred remains of her sleeve, they found nothing but pristine skin underneath - eliciting a sigh of relief from the vain, self-obsessed child, whose skin was as precious to her as a dragon's hoard. It was a miracle, her mother proclaimed, and only later when Kahira realised that it had been her first instance of accidental magic did she also figure out that hers had happened just three days before Blaize's - relatively, in their own lives, of course. Not that anyone would ever care, but Kahira felt satisfied - like, for once, she'd actually beaten her brother to something. xx This disconnect between siblings only intensified when Blaize, in the summer of 2025, was attacked and turned into a dhampir in their family's Cotswolds barn - only to be showered with even more adoration from Aldric and Eloise, as if he was still their little boy rather than a bloody monster. Kahira's fear of him grew into hatred and rage in his first year at Hogwarts, and now, entering her first year, she would rather pretend she doesn't really have a brother at all.

I see it every time I look in the mirror, and hopefully, you can see some now, too. xx Whether it's art drawn of me by my many admirers, commissioned by my parents' extensive Gringotts account, or simply a photograph - the best version, if I do say so myself, to see it so impeccably captured - you should simply be glad to look upon me. ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────── code adapted from the Hogwarts Headliner
